When Clemens Gets Out of Jail, He Should Sue His Lawyers
Too many lawyers bend to the will of their arrogant clients -- and, in doing so, help their clients get convicted of crimes. Roger Clemens never should have testified.

Capitol Hill is far from a baseball clubhouse and testifying under oath is anything but a postgame interview.

I watched Roger Clemons on 60 Minutes, and if I were a juror, I would have acquitted him. Were I his lawyer, I would insist that he take the 5th and invoke the privilege against self-incrimination.

Roger Clemens suffers from a version of the Barry Bonds' personality disorder. He is obnoxious and arrogant, not unusual characteristics in a world class athlete.

We filled the stands in the "steroid era" because those performances were so wonderfully enhanced. Watching players who were well past their prime playing like kids was just too delicious to resist.
Daniel Silk | Posted 12.24.2007 | Entertainment
Maybe I'm blinded by my desperate love of baseball, but I actually don't feel duped by the steroid scandal. Compared to Pete Rose or the 1919 Black Sox? At least these f***kers were trying to win.

Now that the first storm of outrage about the contents of the Mitchell Report has subsided and the season of good cheer is upon us, let's take a look at the mail bag.

We pretend we're surprised, were shocked, and demand asterisks next to each of the offenders records--the hell with that. Let's put one big bracket around the entire generation, 1985-2007, and asterisk that.

Why deal with any difficulty when it can be smoked, drunk, swallowed or injected away? The candidates have their own version of this.

The sole issue that upsets us so much about the Mitchell Report is the sanctity of numbers, the alleged pristine-ness of records in baseball.
Danny Schechter | Posted 12.17.2007 | Entertainment
How naïve to think that a leading mainstream newspaper would indict men in power. No, this story was not about Busheviks or bankers. It reported on steroids by some baseball players.
Roger I. Abrams | Posted 12.17.2007 | Entertainment
None of this means that steroids were good for the game, but rather that perhaps they had little or no impact on the game. Those who have a fetish for the asterisk should put their guns away.

When one of these scandals breaks, the conclusion is "a few guys cheated, but we got 'em" -- as opposed to the idea that cheating has always gone on, and occasionally people get caught.
